Unified Register of Housing: who is entitled to expand living space, list of documents

For most Russians, the housing issue remains the most difficult and pressing. Many are trying to resolve the situation with an insufficient number of meters for normal and comfortable living in various ways. Often you have to resort to mortgage lending. But not everyone can afford to purchase housing using their own and borrowed funds. In some cases, government assistance is necessary. And here a logical question arises: how many square meters of living space is entitled to each person in 2021?

What is this indicator and how to calculate it

Such standards are determined by the Housing Code of the Russian Federation. Using them, you can calculate the area of ​​housing suitable for living. The norms are divided into types:

1. Provision rate . It is used in the case of transfer of housing under a social lease agreement, including from the municipality’s maneuver fund, in certain cases (in the absence of housing in the event of a natural disaster, in the event of an inability to repay mortgage debts, etc.).
2. Accounting norm . It matters when square meters are calculated to improve living conditions.
3. Social norm . This value is used when allocating subsidies for housing, as well as subsidizing fees for housing and communal services.

There is also a sanitary standard for 1 person , the minimum value of which is 6 square meters. This norm was introduced to allocate space in the hostel, as well as housing from the flexible fund.

The values ​​of each of them are established by the territorial authorities. Next, let's look at how much space a family is entitled to in one case or another.

Mainly by region, the housing standard for 1 person is 18 square meters. m.

Procedure for provision

Military personnel move into apartments or houses at their duty station only after they have completed the necessary documents indicating their right to housing, have waited their turn on the list of those in need, and have expressed their consent in writing to the accommodation offered to them.

Where to go

Issues regarding the provision of housing during service are controlled by the Housing Department of the Ministry of Defense , and military personnel should contact them if they want to get on the waiting list for housing or change their living conditions to more comfortable ones.

To be accepted into the queue, you must draw up and sign a report from management. Documents confirming the right to housing are attached to it.

If a military family applies to change their apartment to a larger one, additional papers are also attached to the report. This may be a child’s birth certificate, due to which there are not enough meters per inhabitant in the apartment; a medical certificate confirming that someone living in the apartment has been diagnosed with a chronic disease, those suffering from which have the right to additional meters of housing ; certificate of change of title, employment in one of the positions in which the employee can obtain more spacious housing.

In a situation where a military man retains his family’s right to an apartment registered at his previous place of work, he must have a copy of the house register and a certificate from the technical inventory bureau stating that he owns the premises.

How many square meters per person: the subtleties of housing legislation

m.; For one person - 33 sq. meters. The Housing Code of the Russian Federation defines some nuances in calculating the norm for residential premises. Firstly, when two family members and one stranger live, the area of ​​the residential property should be from 54 to 62 square meters.

m. Secondly, when three persons who are not family members live, the area of ​​the premises is set in the range from 62 to 74 square meters.

What is a social norm and how to calculate it?

The amount of living space that is acceptable for the normal living of a citizen and his family is the social norm for housing. It is accepted as a guideline when allocating housing and subsidizing fees for housing and communal services.

This type of housing standard depends on the following indicators:

• number of people in the family;
• level of housing provision in the region;
• type of premises where the family lives.

The following are considered to be the classic calculated values ​​of social norms:

• for a person living alone – 33 sq.m.;
• family of two people – 42 sq.m.;
• a family with three or more people – 18 sq.m. to each.

If the premises do not meet these standards, the family can collect the necessary documents and submit an application to get on the waiting list for improved living conditions.

Families with low incomes, when utility bills make up a large part of family expenses, can submit documents to subsidize utility services. They will be provided with compensation for only part of the living space within the social norm.

Accounting norm and norm for providing living space

The concepts of these terms are given in Article 50 of the Russian Housing Code.

The provision norm is considered to be the smallest number of residential meters for calculating the total area of ​​the premises that will be provided to the family under a social lease agreement.

Most regions take 18 square meters as a basis. m. area, they are used as the provision norm. This size is minimal and can be increased in some cases:

• a room or an apartment with one room is provided;
• housing is transferred to a person with chronic serious illnesses.

The standards are also increasing for employees of internal affairs bodies with the rank of at least colonel, as well as for persons with an academic degree. However, the increased rate cannot ultimately amount to more than two established values.

The accounting standard is considered to be the minimum living space that is accepted to recognize a family as in need of improved housing conditions. Citizens whose premises are less than this value have the right to take the appropriate queue. This applies only to those citizens or families who are recognized as low-income.

It should be clarified that the calculation of need includes all persons who are registered in the premises permanently and temporarily. But it is impossible to register an unlimited number of people in one living space for the purpose of recognizing a family in need of improved living conditions. The authorized bodies will not allow this to be done. Most often, a lack of square meters occurs with the appearance of children in the family, who by law must be registered with the mother.

The authorities of each region independently determine the accounting standard for living space, but it cannot be lower than the provision standards.

Housing standards are applicable when providing housing to a number of categories of citizens who are vulnerable and in need of state assistance.

1. Orphans and children without parental care . This category of living space is entitled to:

• upon completion of stay in specialized institutions, as well as upon completion of the period of stay under guardianship or in foster families;
• after completing conscription service;
• upon expiration of the period of stay in places of deprivation of liberty.

The size of the transferred housing under a social tenancy agreement is subject to regional standards, but may be higher than them. The contract is concluded for five years, and then transferred to personal use. Orphans are necessarily allocated separate housing, which is a comfortable apartment or house.

2. Migrants from housing recognized as dilapidated and unsafe . Most often, such residents are relocated to municipal flexible housing, dormitories. Here the established standards must be observed. Although the new area may be smaller from which the resettlement takes place. In the case of privatization of emergency housing, the same number of meters that were owned is offered in return.

3. Relocation from houses subject to demolition . The seizure of such apartments is subject to the following conditions:

• new housing is provided upon concluding a social rental agreement;
• the new premises must be well-equipped and in the same settlement;
• the area of ​​the new housing is comparable or larger than the old housing.

Moreover, if the premises from which the eviction takes place is less than the established standards, the family can apply for improved living conditions.

4. Military personnel . This category of citizens has the right to receive housing from the state. Here established standards are applied, depending on the composition of the family. Each family member should have 18 square meters. m of living space, and for a single serviceman the room should be 18-25 square meters. For this category, standards are established by regional authorities.

Right to additional living space

• military personnel nominated for the honorary title of the Russian Federation;
• military personnel with 20 years of service.

To be placed on the waiting list, the serviceman must be recognized as in dire need of housing. To do this, he needs to provide relevant evidence.

Before the two revolutions of 1917, the problem of providing Russian citizens with social housing did not actually exist for the state, since this issue was a personal matter for the citizens themselves.

But one of the positive results of these revolutions was that the state assumed most of the obligations to provide all Russian citizens with housing, and primarily social housing. The fact that the state has a new social function to provide housing for all citizens has necessitated a regulatory settlement of issues of reasonable and fair distribution of the housing stock at the disposal of the state and the newly built housing stock among citizens who needed housing, including the regulatory definition of the grounds for the presence of which a citizen was recognized as needing to receive social housing from the state.
